I'm with you, I don't get it. Is this an example of the emperor's new clothes where nobody gets it (because it doesn't make sense) but pretends to find it funny because they assume it must be funny if only they understood emacs?
It's Neodada.
Am I the only (former) emacs user in this thread very confused by the "--INSERT---" line at the bottom of the screen in this video? That's clearly a vi-ism?
It's actually very easy to type blimpy in ed, the standard text editor.
Not funny. Double flagged by click on flag button twice. If Stallman ever figures out how to watch YouTube in Emacs, someone is going to be in big trouble.

You recommend using a framework like doom or building up your own config?
If you start with framework you might not learn enough to solve problems later, but using it later to simplify your config should be ok. For example ergoemacs http://ergoemacs.github.io/ is a nice way to make Emacs more ergonomic and easier to use(if having problems with default configuration).

honestly Vim is pretty slow, and it utterly sucks with long lines. you can do "g" motion, but I cant seem to get my muscle memory to remember that. to me "down" should always use whats visible on the screen, not just dumbly move to the next line.
you're supposed to learn the mechanics of vim and then configure it in a way which you find intuitive. i find that much more natural than software which tries to anticipate (and indirectly reinforce) some arbitrary "common sense". nnoremap k gk nnoremap j gj nnoremap 0 g0 nnoremap $ g$
